Mr.. Lamar's Nomination.

The New York Voice, the national or
gan Of the Prohibitionists, contains a
letter or telegram from Washington
which talks as follows about the penalty
Mr.. LAMAR will have to pay for having
been a southern man in 1861, and how
the Prohibtionists unwisely try to learn
beforehand what he would decide in the
Kansas Prohibition cases. We quote !:
1.-The next move on the part Of the
temperance people should be to see that
a man is appointed TO the vacancy who
is not committed TO the liquor side OF
the question. II is generally expected
that Secretary Lamar has been selected.
He neither denies nor aifirms the re-
ports to this effect He talks just as he
did when it was reported he was to be
married, and his evasions are as good as
q confession. / have endeavored to as
certain where he stands on the prohibi-
ton question, but have not succeeded.
He says he has never given the subject
any study.
"If Secretary Lamar is nominated to
he Will not be confirmed. That may be
set down as positive. Although he is an
ex-senator he will be rejected or hung
up without being acted upon. l. is one
OF the ume-hOnored rules OF the Senate
to confirm promptly every nominee to
Office who has ever been member OF
that body on the theory that man who
has sat as q senator is worthy to fill any
other Office, and only in exceptional
cases has the rule ever been waived.
But Lamar. although confirmed prompt
ly to "a Cabinet position, will not be con-
firmed as a member of the Supreme
Court and the President will undoubt-
edly be notified before he makes the
mistake of sending in his name.
"There is no personal objection to Mr..
Lamar, nor is there any distrust of his
ability, but there is rule III the Senate,
at least on the Republican side of that
body, that no man who has violated his
oath and taken up arms against the
United States shall sit as member OF
the highest judiciary, and this rule, I'M
fortunately for Mr. Lamar, applies to
him. Senator Edmunds and other lead
ing Republicans hold, and it is very
probable that the majority of the Senate
will agree with them if the question
comes to a test, that man who has
sworn to support the Constitution and
once violated his oath, however sincere
his convictions, cannot be trusted to in
terpret that Constitution for the guidance
and direction of the lower courts of law. "
What nonsence. Mr.. LAMAR violatednO
oath. As well charge all the northern
congressman who voted to change the
Constitution and put the new articles of
amendment into it with having violated
their oaths. II Mr.. LAMAR violated the
oath to support the Constitution, so did
every member of every Legislature and
of every Congress that ratified and pro-
posed the changes in the Constitution
called amendments. So did GEORGE
WASHINGTON when he took up arms as
rebel. In fact, if Mr.. LAMAR violated
his oath, all the best men this country
has ever produced have committed the
same crime.

on many important measures. The Old
North State press recognized before the
election that Democratic defeat in Vir-
ginia would hasten the development OF
that germ-would indeed afford the
opportunity which both the Independents
and tho undisguised Republicans de-
sired. They recognized that the
triumph of the "malign influence" in
Virginia might encourage some North
Carolina MALONE to resort to the same
tactics in that State that the little Gene
raj had resorted TO in Virginia, in order
to make himself by turning tho
State over to the malignants in 1888.
They frequently warned the people
against this. During the canvass our
contemporaries sent US words OF cheer
and made our fight their own with all
the earnostness with which North Caro-
lima has ever stood by Virginia when perils
environed us. No wonder that they
should now rejoice with us, and feel that
in our victory they have put great
danger behind them.

Good Work.
fLynchburg Novel

The press of Richmond did a great
work in the recent red-hot local cam
paign against the shameless coalition OF
Republicans and renegade Democrats
The wing and Dispatch struck power
ful blows for the supremacy OF the
Democracy, while the state, like a Jour
nalistic Henry of Navarro, led the van
in the thickest OF the fight, and with its
keen Damascus blade cleaved the enemy
from crown to foot, right and left, fore
and aft. We watched the fight there
with the profoundest interest, and when
the glad tidings came that Richmond
was redeemed-t the perfdious and
unholy alliance of Blifl and Black
George was done to death and the base
cohorts routed horse, foot, and dragoon-
We praised God with exceeding great
Joy. Again We say, God bless her press

Charles p. Ross, well known as a
sportsman and athlete, died near here
last evening, in the thirty eighth year of
his age. He was victor in the foot race
at the Washington Carnival in 1870, and
brought away as the prize a handsome
silver cup. A number of competitors
were in the race, the distance being from
the Capitol gate to the Treasury.
Captain William Asheton, of Lanca-
shire, England. who removed with his
family to Fauquier soon after the close
of the late war, died at Rock Spring, his

Rejoicing with Us.

The North Carolina Democratic pa
pers are especially jubilant over the re-
suit of the election in Virginia. Most of
the editorial of the Raleigh NeWs and
Observer is devoted to paragraphs point
ing out the importance of the victory.
Hear il
ave agree that the Virginia Demo
cracy in winning the victory Of Tuesday
has set the pace for the South IN the
coming national struggle The Repub-
hcan leaders said in the campaign As
goes Virginia SO goes the South, and SO
NAV it be. say We. The South is still
solid against preachers of sectionalism
and those who betray their own people.
II is particularly solid for honest and
CAPABLE government As has gone Vir-
ginia so will go the South in 1888"
Again:
eve can say goodbye to the little
General without pang. His methods
in politics have been curse not only to
his native State OF Virginia, but to the
whole South.
And again:
"The Democrats of the country will
now set their faces still more cheerfully
10 the coming 4 the great Democratic
victory next year. and will proceed with
still greater confidence 10 WORK for the
success of their party, on which the well
fare Of the people is clearly dependent. "
The Wilmington Messenger breaks
forth in the following strain:
"Hail. mother of States and states
men Hail, land of Washington and
n Jefferson Thrice hail thou fountain

~ glorious rejuvenation we all have Joy.

lies in the fact that North Carolina has

Mahone-Barbour.


In his speech ut Roanoke City during
the session Of the Democratic State Con-
vention in August last Judge STAPLES
said, rather jocularly than otherwise,
that he regarded the presence there of
Hon. JOHN I. HARRIS as good sign. At
the last meeting of the Democratic State
Central Committee Mr.. HARRIS was
again present and gave it as his forecast
that the Democrats would have a two
thirds majority in the next Legislature.
It was impossible, he argued, for Ma
HONE TO win a victory when eau
sEY, CAMERON, LEWIS, RDDLEBEBGER,
YosT, BRADY, and so many others Of his
lieutenants had refused to serve under
him. Who ever heard, he asked, of a
Generals gaining n victory when his
subordinate officers refusedto march I'M
der his standard? HARRIs's prediction
was, in effect, fulfilled last Tuesday.
The lieutenants of MALONE aidedi in con-
signing him to the grave:
ale sleeps his last sleep, he has fought his last
battle
Mr.. BARBOUR had a very different ex-
perience during the recent campaign.
His houtenants, if he had had any,
would have been proud to serve under
his orders. But had he any? If he
had there was nothing in his manner at
any time or place which indicated that
he thought he had any. Always one of
the most deferential Of men in his bear
ing, he was peculiarly so when he met
in committee with his associates on the
State Central Committee. lie made no
boasts, INDUCED in no predictions,
listened patiently to all speakers, dis
scented from no one, did not feel called
upon to gainsay anything that anybody
else said, and yet we suspect that every
man present at every meeting Of that
committee leaned upon him as upon
a staff that would neither break nor
yield.
To charge such man with being a
"boss is to misuse a word that is ap-
plcable only to such leaders as MALONE
men who dictate to their associates who
are offensive in their egotism; who fol
low no advice unless it consists Of their
own utterances returned to them 10y
willing servitOrs. Mr.. BARBOUR is no
"boss." The fact that the very legisla-
tors whose election in 1855 he was
charged by his opponents with having
dictated sent another man to the United
States Senate is an all-suflicient answer
TO the charge now being circulated by
his adversaries that the Democratic mem
bers of thenewly-chosen Legislature were
elected as BARBOUR men. The new
Legislature will, in all probability, elect
him to the United States Senate, but not
in obedience to his own behests. 1t will
be done, if at all, as we had occasion to
say month or two ago. because the
people at home have indicated that it is
their will that he shall be seen 10y the
people of the whole country sitting in
the seat so long disgraced by the
mischief-maker whom he has had so
much TO do in extruding from the United
States Senate.

Confessed Defeat.

Ex-senator Plat, of New York, in
letter written October 10th, not intended

confession:

with success this fall the causes will
operate to bring victory in the presiden-
tial canvass next year; and defeat now
will, in all probability, mean disaster
then and Democratic supremacy for
many years to come.
